Indonesia steps up aid delivery to remote areas after deadly Sumatra floods
Relief and rescue teams in Indonesia used helicopters to deliver aid to people they could not access because of blocked roads on the western island of Sumatra, where three provinces have been devastated by landslides and floods after the rains.
According to authorities on Sunday, Indonesia's death toll from floods and landslides has reached 442.
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are facing large-scale devastation after a rare tropical storm formed in the Malacca Strait, fueling heavy rains and wind gusts for a week.
Officials said on Saturday that there were reports of people looting supply lines as they grew desperate for relief in other areas.
Over four million people have been affected by the floods, nearly 1.1 million in western Indonesia and three million in southern Thailand, according to official statistics.
